Seeding Gift Culture - Two-Day Seminar with Charles Eisenstein

Writer and speaker Charles Eisenstein will lead a two-day seminar on the overarching theme of the Gift. This gathering is a transmission or an attunement to a new story of self and world: the self of interbeing, living in the spirit of the Gift. Cognitively, we will embed the crises converging upon us today within a vast metahistorical context; experientially, we will translate the heart's knowing - that a more beautiful world is possible - into embodied, living belief. Something will crystalize within you, and never again will you doubt what you know or think that maybe it is you, and not the world, that has gone mad. With the power of word, attention, and presence, we are gathering to catalyze the next step of the revolution in human beingness.

In leading the seminar, Charles will be joined by Emma Hawley - a Los Angeles-based actress, singer and activist in the Gift Culture movement.

SEMINAR - Nov. 7-8 (Sat & Sun)
__________________________

The multiple crises converging on our planet today are birthing humanity into a new era. Everything is changing: the money system, medicine, politics, education, business, and humanity's relationship to the planetary ecosystem. This seminar explores the new way of thinking, relating, and being that is in alignment with the coming world.

Gift Community is what we have been waiting for, preparing for and now, in these times, actually needing. We are awakening to our need for each other, not just on a physical level, but on a heretofore unknown spiritual level. It is the transition from "All I need is within me" to "I need you!" -- yet this is experienced not as a decrease in freedom, but an expansion. It is a journey to a depth of intimacy on the community level that we can barely imagine today, though we have long yearned for it.

The essence of this seminar is a transmission of the Spirit of the Gift. It is a kind of initiation, a quickening. What was once intuition will become knowledge; what was once knowledge will become embodied action. The time of loneliness on the path, the time of wondering if maybe we are crazy, the time of feeling alone in our intuitions against a world hostile to the Gift, is over. This seminar will bring you clarity about your gifts, new confidence in their power, and an unconquerable determination to live them.

Living in the Gift is not primarily for those who still believe in the world presented us as normal, nor for those who reject the world-that-has-been but can see no alternative. It is mostly for people who are already active in creating a more beautiful world, who are already stepping into their own gifts, and who are ready to take their creativity and service to a new level.
